We did a lot of super-duper pieces in Language Arts this year but I have to say that my fiction story was the best. To write a good fiction story, you need to think like a fiction writer. Fiction writers know that you have to ask yourself, “What books do I wish existed in the world?” This question leads your way to finding how you’re going to invent your character with traits, struggles, and actions. Adding to the list, you need to write about an issue that’s important to you. Writing about an issue that you could care less about makes your writing boring. Together with creating your character’s struggle, also you need to create their internal and external traits.
Now, let’s go to writing the story. To start out writing your fiction story, you need to create a story map to map out your story. This helps you get your events and climax in order. Another thing to start with is to state the character and setting. For example, in the beginning of the story you could state that the main character Jack has brown curly hair and lives in New York. The thing is you have to SHOW not TELL that Jack has Brown curly hair and lives in New York. Writing a fiction story means you have to write small moment, after small moment, so that it leads to the climax. Last but not least, you have to resolve the story. Make sure it’s not a cliff hanger!!!!!
I mainly chose this piece because of all the things I did amazingly. One of the things I did amazingly was my showing not telling. I showed that Abby was dancing in the sunlight by saying,” While my skin was absorbing every last drop of it, I spun in a circle like a dancer in the spotlight.” Also, I did a good job of describing my characters. For example, when I described Abby’s older brother Jason I said, “His spiky dirty blond was all covered up by his grassy-green hoodie that seemed to just drape over him. Under the hoodie was a plain white T-shirt with about three grease stains and two ketchup stains. His jeans looked like they just came out of a sand paper factory all ripped and torn. Last, were his huge sneakers that looked like they came from another planet.”
Despite the fact that I did a lot of things amazingly, I also could improve some things. For example, I could keep an eye on how many details I put in that are irrelevant to the story. In my fiction story I added in something that had nothing to do with the story and could be taken out. This year I loved working with Mrs. Bubalis. I learned SO much! Now, next time I write, I’ll be sure to take out the irrelevant details!
